This week I’ve been playing The Witcher II, so I’m going to give away a Witcher book: The Last Wish. Big Witcher fan here.

Usual deal – comment on this post before December 1st and I’ll randomly select a lucky victim for a free copy of the book. No challenge this week. Although, though no one has yet complained about how long it takes me to get to the post office and post things, it can take a while and if you live abroad then it can take even longer. Sorry about that, but they do get there eventually. Well, so far.

Dragon Queen editing is done and the MS is back with Marcus at Gollancz to check on some revisions to the last couple of chapters before it goes to the copyeditor. Then back to the ghostwriting project I can’t talk about an then, if there’s time before the copy-edits come back, some work on some the Very Sekkrit Sodium Hydride project – some website freebies for the summer.

[1] Exciting bonus goody not guaranteed to be exciting. Actually it’s often a postcard. Which is pretty lame.

Dragon Queen editing this week. Should be done by the time the next post goes up. There’s a cover published somewhere on the internet, but it’s not the one that book will have when it comes out, so best ignore it.

It’s odd how tastes differ. I’d have rated The Warlock’s Shadow as the best of this trilogy by some way, but that’s the joy of any sort of art, I suppose – it’s all in the eye of the beholder. Anyway – done. Berren (or some bits of him anyway) will return in Dragon Queen. And in case I haven’t mentioned it, there’s still a freebie novella up on the Gollanczblog – a prelude to The Thief-Taker’s Apprentice.PDF here. One day. Probably. Yes, I am rubbish.

Anyway, now for the bit that you want: This week I’m giving away a copy of The Lies of Locke Lamora, the first volume in the Gentlemen Bastard septet, the second of which is also out, the third of which appears to have vanished into a time loop. It remains, however, a damn fine read.

Usual deal – comment on this post before November 17th and I’ll randomly select a lucky victim for a free copy of the book. Your challenge this week is to tell me your Mitt Romney name. In order to work out your Mitt Romney name, strictly you have to do is make a name out of an item of clothing and a town in Kent, England – but this being an international giveaway, I’ll accept towns in your local county or state or province, provided you tell me where it is.You may find this list of place names handy…For my Mitt Romney name, I’m going with Kilt Edenbridge. If you make me laugh I might send an exciting bonus goody your way[1].

The King’s Assassin is officially out and that’s a trilogy officially done, a series officially finished, and if any of you were hoping for some more of Berren then. . . then read the book. All of it. Right to the end. There’s still a freebie novella up on the Gollanczblog – a prelude to The Thief-Taker’s Apprentice. I’ll put a PDF up here shortly.

This week I’m giving away a copy of Robert Redick’s Red Wolf Conspiracy. This is the first volume in the Chathrand Voyage quartet, the last of which (Night of the Swarm) has just come out, so no irritating waiting for the series to finish if you get hooked. This is a truly magical series (as far as I’ve read) full of hope and wonder and magic, and I heartily recommend it for adults and almost-adults alike. Robert has a lovely website for the series here.

Usual deal – comment on this post and I’ll randomly select a lucky victim for a free copy of the book. In order to enter, comment on this post before the 10th November. Your challenge this week is to recommend a book to anyone else who comes to visit the giveaway page. If you make me laugh I might send an exciting bonus goody your way[1].
